England - prenups are recognised in Scotland.
This sort of tulip was done to those who lived outside of country so I think having prenups in Scotland is good but does not fully change situation until England recognises them.Comment

Christ. I was inspired by this topic as, to be fair, my ex-wife isn’t going to contest anything in divorce (partly because she’s too lazy to actually research into how much she could get from me, and partly because she’s not malicious at all). Feeling quite lucky about this, I rang her up to say that I wanted to give her some money – not shed loads, but £2,000 which would be quite nice for her and it’s just sitting in my ISA.
We got talking about stuff and SHE asked ME how it was going with my new girlie and I said I was happy and things were going pretty well and she went mad. FFS, don’t ask me if you don’t want to know you mad old bint!
In all fairness though, I’m lucky here. I pay a lot more money than the CSA would make me, and we review my payments every 6 months to account for peaks and troughs in my career. However, I’d be a lot worse off if she was malicious and I think it’s important I recognise that.
In our case, once I started contracting, she gave up her job which upset me no end. I wasn’t happy and was on her case to get a new job. Ultimately, the problems it caused ended our marriage. So she’s not got much money now, but I’d argue it’s in spite of me, not because of me (i.e. she didn’t give up her career to allow me to concentrate on mine for example). That said, I still feel a moral obligation to ensure she’s alright for money – not just the kids, but her as well. One thing’s for sure though, I’m never getting married again.Comment
